Compassionate Help for Women with Eating Disorders

If you or someone you love is a woman suffering from an eating disorder, you may be feeling worried and/or helpless. The last thing you want is a program that takes a harsh or punitive approach to helping you recover.

Many of our staff are in recovery themselves or are touched by a loved one struggling with these issues. As a result, they understand both personally and professional what it’s like to have issues with anxiety, depression, self esteem or body image that are often at the heart of eating disorders or self-harm behaviors.

You’ll find that each center’s physical space and our therapeutic approach provide a warm, compassionate touch that resonates with women. From the moment you call our coordinator, to the time you first visit one of our beautiful centers, you’ll feel welcomed and cared for.

We Help You Love Your Body Again

It can be challenging to love your body in a society that emphasizes thinness and appearance over more important values. Our team works with each woman to take your unique needs into account and to get at the root of the issues that have led you away from a healthy relationship with food, mood and your body.

Whether you suffer from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, anxiety, depression or other mood disorder, or you have turned to cutting to ease your pain, we can help. We offer individual therapy, group therapy, support groups, nutritional guidance and more to support you on your road to recovery.

“We need more brave men like Andrew Walen speaking out about their eating disorders to break down some of the stigmas that are barriers to effective treatments. Fat bullying and shaming are harmful and often can lead to dieting and shame which can be triggers for an eating disorder in someone who is biologically predisposed.”

Becky HenryFounder, Hope Network for Eating Disorders Caregivers

“Your kind of work — both your content and your style — are much needed in the female-crowded world of eating disorder recovery. There needs to be a movement for the normalization of men with eating disorders just as there was for women with alcoholism. And I believe you are going to be an important part of bringing that about.”

Thom RutledgeAuthor of Embracing Fear, and co-author of Life Without Ed

“Mr. Walen tells the tale of his journey from shame and self-destruction to a caring, whole individual reaching out to others to help with their pain. His writing is clear, witty and engaging. Even if you don’t have an eating disorder, his story of courage and insight is inspirational.”
